This book addresses the importance of economic governance in post-conflict situations and aims to show that addressing technical and economic issues can be an important ingredient in promoting peace by reigniting economic growth and building trust within divided communities. The focus is on the role the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) can play in conflict prevention and peacebuilding. The activities of the UNECE are mainly technical and generally address specific economic issues and any political role in fostering security is not part of its mandate, although the Security Council has recently reconfirmed the role of regional organisations in the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts.
